Sure! Yangnyeom chicken is a popular Korean dish that features marinated chicken breast or thighs served with a spicy, sweet, and sour sauce. The marinade typically includes garlic, ginger, fish sauce, sugar, gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes), soy sauce, and rice wine.
Recipe: Yangnyeom Chicken
Ingredients:
- 400g chicken breast or thighs
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp fish sauce
- 3 tbsp rice wine (or dry sherry)
- 2 tbsp gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes)
- 1 tbsp grated ginger
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- Oil for frying
- Sesame seeds and green onions for garnish
Instructions:
- Marinate the Chicken:
- In a bowl, mix soy sauce, fish sauce, rice wine, gochugaru, grated ginger, minced garlic, and brown sugar.
- Place the chicken pieces in the marinade and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Cooking:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade, letting any excess liquid drip off. Place it in the hot skillet skin-side down if using thighs.
- Cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook on the other side for another 3-5 minutes. This step can be done either by frying or baking, depending on your preference.
- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the remaining marinade ingredients (1/4 cup water, gochugaru, ginger, garlic) and bring to a simmer.
- Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce:
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pan and let it rest on a plate.
- Pour the remaining marinade over the chicken and cook for another minute or so to make sure the sauce coats everything nicely.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy your Yangnyeom chicken!
This dish is perfect for a spicy kick and can be served as an appetizer, main course, or even packed in a meal prep container for a quick lunch!
